USA Today Says eBay Points to Interest in Space

In its Money section cover story "The Year According to eBay," USA Today reports that "eBay tells us . . . that we are captured once again by dreams of space travel." Because eBay is used by more than 125 million people, USA Today suggests that it can be used as a "societal seismometer" to gauge public interest. From this point of view, USA Today reports: "A new generation has fallen in love with outer space. Early in 2004, NASA landed its rover on Mars, igniting interest in the red planet. July was the 35th anniversary of the first manned moon landing. SpaceShipOne won the X-Prize for taking a civilian to the edge of space and landing safely back on Earth. So "moon" made it into the (internet's) top five search terms in 2004. In previous years, it wasn't even in the top 50." [Provided by Steve Eisenhart and the Space Foundation.]
